The leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, was “reasonably satisfied” yesterday with compliance with the programmatic pacts signed with the PP where they govern together and praised, above all, the cut in subsidies to employers and unions in Castilla y León; support for farmers and ranchers in Brussels and the elimination of the requirement to speak Catalan for doctors in the Balearic Islands.
Abascal made these statements after the Political Action Committee convened in Madrid, which was attended by the vice presidents and representatives of Vox in coalition governments with the PP. At the meeting, he told his followers that “with the Murcia agreement a cycle closes and a new stage of understanding with the Popular Party opens.”
That meeting was attended by videoconference José Ángel Antelo, the regional president of Vox, who at a press conference in Cartagena, after the round of contacts with the president of the Assembly, Visitación Martínez, to ensure that he will support the investiture of López Miras, He advanced that in the case of the Region, the PP-Vox programmatic pact is “being finalized” by Joaquín Segado and Rubén Martínez Alpañez and “they will announce it shortly.”
Alpañez, new spokesperson
In addition, Antelo announced that upon assuming the position of vice president of the regional government, he will leave the spokesperson in the Assembly, a position that will be assumed by the deputy spokesman until now, Martínez Alpañez.
In addition, he pointed out, without giving further details, that later there will be a restructuring of the Vox Parliamentary Group. He also confessed that the negotiation to reach an agreement with López Miras has been “complicated” and that, in fact, on Friday morning “an agreement was not close.”
This explains why when the first news broke that the PP offered two ministries (Development and Security, Interior and Emergencies) to Vox, Antelo continued to claim the Agriculture portfolio from his social networks.
